JoJo's Restaurant offers a surprisingly celiac-friendly experience for a shared kitchen, with clear gluten-free menu labeling and a dedicated fryer that makes crispy tater tots and wings actually feel safe to enjoy. Staff consistently acknowledge gluten allergies and seem well-versed in handling requests, which always feels like a breath of fresh air when you're used to the usual song and dance. While not a dedicated gluten-free facility—so, yes, there's still some risk—the transparency about ingredients, marked menu, and allergy awareness go a long way. If you're craving Basque-Mexican fusion (hello, birria tacos and that legendary cheesecake) and want a spot where your questions are met with real answers, JoJo's delivers on flavor and confidence, but keep in mind your own comfort level with shared spaces.

Del Cielo Tamales Restaurant brings the kind of warmth you crave when eating out gluten-free—staff are friendly, genuinely knowledgeable, and eager to help. While there's no official gluten-free menu or dedicated prep area, most dishes (except flour tortillas) are naturally gluten-free, and team members seem well-versed in what works for celiacs. The enchilada sauce gets raves, and it's a treat to find Mexican food where corn-based options shine. Still, because it's not a dedicated facility, those with celiac disease should have a detailed conversation with staff about cross-contact before ordering—peace of mind is everything when it comes to safety.

Little Mexico Steakhouse offers a lively Mexican dining experience with a broad menu that includes some gluten-free options like menudo and chorizo. However, there's no clear evidence of dedicated gluten-free preparation areas or strict cross-contamination protocols. While the staff seems friendly and accommodating, the lack of explicit safety measures makes it a bit risky for celiac diners.
